Seeing Mrs. Lu leaving without looking back, Ye Qinggang vented his anger towards the old house of the Lu family, but he was just helpless and furious.
He squatted among the rubbish and worried for a while, but he knew he couldn't delay any longer.
Lujia Village is still a bit far from Rongxi Village. If you don’t hurry back now, it will be difficult to get home in time for dinner.
He only asked Mrs. Ye to help cook lunch for the family, but did not mention dinner at all.
And judging from the attitudes of Mrs. Lu and the young wife beside her, even if he chased after her, he would not gain any benefits. He might even be taught a lesson by the Madam Lu they were talking about.
Thinking of this, Ye Qinggang steeled himself for a moment, stood up, dusted off the dust on his body, and spat, "I still don't believe it. How can one of us not be able to live without the other?"
After saying this, Ye Qinggang walked towards the village entrance without looking back. Soon he came to the official road, stopped a mule cart, and left.
What Ye Qinggang didn't know was that just as he turned to leave, Lu and Qiaozhen popped their heads out from the end of the same path.
Looking at Ye Qinggang's figure without turning his head, Qiaozhen had an expression that said, "Look what I said."
Mrs. Lu's eyes dimmed for a moment, but soon seemed to recover. She took Qiao Zhen's arm and said, "We have been out for such a long time. Let's go back. It's time to turn the old lady over."
On the other hand, Ye Qinggang couldn't even maintain his toughness all the way.
As he got closer to home, he became more and more worried.
The family needs someone to stay home, and it’s time to start working in the fields again.
Even if we split him in half, he still wouldn't be able to take care of everything!
The mule cart dropped him off at the fork in the road closest to Rongxi Village. If he didn't meet any villagers driving back from outside, Ye Qinggang would have no choice but to walk home.
This stretch of road is actually not too long, but it is mostly uphill, and it usually takes about half an hour to walk.
However, Ye Qinggang had used a lot of strength to kick the door before, and he was in a heavy mood. His legs felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't lift them. He walked for an hour before he finally saw the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.
At this time, the sun had already set behind the mountain, leaving only a faint halo on the horizon, which soon disappeared.
Ye Qinggang returned home in the dark, exhausted. When he opened the door, he thought that what would be waiting for him was a mess, hungry parents and a crying child.
Unexpectedly, the house was clean. The eldest son was taking care of the younger son, and the two brothers were sitting at the table eating noodles.
"Dad, you're back!" The two children saw Ye Qinggang enter the house, greeted him and quickly looked behind him.
The people in the west room must have heard the sound as well, as the door curtain was suddenly lifted, startling Ye Qinggang.
"Brother Qinggang is back. Are you hungry?" The person who came out of the room was Mrs. Ye.
After dinner at the Ye family tonight, Mrs. Ye discovered that Ye Qinggang had not returned yet. Worried that his elderly and children were hungry, she came over and rolled some noodles for them.
"Sister-in-law." Ye Qinggang looked at Sister-in-law Ye in surprise, and suddenly felt touched.
After all, he felt that he had spent the day in a very depressing way, and he felt that the sudden feeling of a little warmth was invaluable.
When Mrs. Ye saw Ye Qinggang's expression and saw that he came back alone, she knew that he must have failed to coax his wife back, so she didn't ask any more questions.
"Brother Qinggang, I have some noodles rolled in the kitchen. I'll go make you a bowl.
"The main reason is that I didn't know when you would be back, so I didn't dare to cook in advance."
Mrs. Ye was too embarrassed to ask, but the two children would not let Ye Qinggang go.
Before Mrs. Ye could even walk out, the two children came up to her impatiently.
"Dad, where's Mom?"
"Dad, didn't you say you were going to bring Mom back?"
As the two children talked, they also looked out of the house, wondering if Mrs. Lu was hiding outside deliberately to play tricks on them.
But the light in the house illuminated the outside of the door clearly, and there was no trace of Lu.
Ye Rongxu was older and had started to have his own worries and thoughts. He looked disappointed but did not rush to ask questions.
But Ye Rongan was young and had no idea about the twists and turns involved. After confirming that his mother had not returned, he immediately burst into tears.
"Dad, you lied. You said you would bring Mom back. You lied—wow—"
Ye Qinggang was already in a bad mood, and his son's crying made him even more irritated. He tried hard to suppress his impatience and said, "You don't understand adult matters. Go eat your noodles quickly and go to bed early after that!"
But no matter what he said, Ye Rongan cried even harder.
Ye Qinggang's remaining patience and self-control were already at risk. With Mrs. Ye still at home, he had no choice but to coax the child again, "That's enough. As long as you stop crying, eat and sleep well, you'll be able to see your mother tomorrow morning."
Although I know that this is just a temporary solution, I will probably face even greater troubles when I wake up tomorrow.
But Ye Qinggang didn't care about so many things at this time. He just wanted to make his youngest son shut up and stop crying.
Ye Qinggang usually enjoyed a good level of trust in his son, so when Rong An heard this, he quickly stopped crying and asked with a slight sob, "Dad, is it true? Will I be able to see Mom when I wake up tomorrow morning?"
"Really, really." Ye Qinggang weakly replied to his youngest son, but it was obvious that Ye Rongxu on the side did not believe his words at all.
But Ye Rongxu said nothing. He stepped forward, took his brother's hand and said, "Xiao An, come here. Brother will feed you until you finish your noodles."
